Description:
The W. M. Keck Research Program seeks to benefit humanity by supporting Medical Research and Science & Engineering projects that are distinctive and novel in their approach, question the prevailing paradigm, or have the potential to break open new territory in their field. The foundation prioritizes grants that pioneer biological and physical science research and engineering, including the development of promising new technologies, instrumentation or methodologies. Successful applications will fall outside the mission of public funding agencies and demonstrate that W. M. Keck Foundation support is essential to the project’s success. The foundation does not fund the development of medical devices, translational research or drug treatment trials.
